0:00:14 > 0:00:21This programme contains some strong language.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54FRANKIE: Dear Da, did you know something?
0:01:54 > 0:01:55We're moving again.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Ma says it's time.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14She says that it's definitely the last time.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18But she says that every single time.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Nana says if there is a next time,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22she will have to be carried out in a box.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24And Ma says, don't tempt her.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27# I know that's true
0:02:30 > 0:02:35# And if tomorrow only brings our just deserts
0:02:36 > 0:02:39# We'll still get through
0:02:42 > 0:02:46# I know we'll be all right
0:02:46 > 0:02:47# Cue the marching drums
0:02:47 > 0:02:50# We'll stumble through tonight
0:02:51 > 0:02:54# Until the morning comes
0:02:54 > 0:02:58# And everyone will have their day
0:02:58 > 0:03:02# Though many trying days might break
0:03:05 > 0:03:10# Take time before you make a change
0:03:10 > 0:03:14# Your time is gonna come your way... #
0:03:14 > 0:03:15FRANKIE: You know something else, Da?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17This time...we're living
0:03:17 > 0:03:21right on the edge of the sea, right on the edge of the world.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Lizzie, I still cannae get it.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I'm gonnae miss my programme.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35You'll need to do something. You'll need to get the man in.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Away to the chip shop and get us fish suppers.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51You want to encourage that boy to speak more.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53There's nothing wrong with his voice.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56He's got a lovely wee voice. You should encourage it.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Between that, and that other thing...
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Is this it? - Yeah.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08One, two, three...
0:04:08 > 0:04:11MAN: Ah, Marie, come on, give us a break.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Keep your hair on. It's a joke.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Right, you two. Beat it.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19And don't annoy me for the rest of the week, OK?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Right. Who's next?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24OK.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38MOUTHING: More.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Your wish is my command.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56Aye. No bother.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Right.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09OK. Is that it?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13How old are you?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Well, come back in six and a half years.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Just you go back down there and tell Madam Muck
0:05:20 > 0:05:23that you want a packet of Embassy Regal.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25If she gives you any more of her lip,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28tell her I'll come down and batter more than her fish.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Are you that desperate?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39And that was that. You know what I mean?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Excuse me, 20 Embassy Regal. - There's a queue.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46My boy's already queued, and before you ask, I am 16, so...
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yeah, and the rest.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50OK, hold your horses. I'll do you next.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- MAN: Come on, there's a queue. - Ah, God almighty.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54She only wants a packet of fags.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59What was the problem? Could you not understand him?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I understood him perfectly. He's a smart wee cookie.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05For a deaf kid?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07For his age.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Thanks.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17FRANKIE: Dear Da, thanks for the stamps.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35The great white shark's the best.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Maybe the best you've ever sent.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Ma says she'll buy me a new album
0:06:40 > 0:06:42when this one's full.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47"You left while I was sleeping,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49"Taken from my loving arm.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51"And now I'm left to grieve here,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53"Broken like a doll."
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Jesus Christ, that doesn't even rhyme.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00They're supposed to rhyme.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Just you make sure mine rhymes.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Oh, don't bother. I'll write it myself.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's wishful thinking, you know.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10You won't find his name in there.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Well, he's got to die sometime.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20FRANKIE: Did you know something, Da?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Did you know a great white can jump
0:07:22 > 0:07:26right out of the water and knock over a boat?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Not your boat, though. Your boat's ginormous.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33And guess what else, Da. Guess what.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37From my window, I can see the sea.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25You have to wear it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Did you do the toilet?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Big day tomorrow. You need to get to sleep now.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49SHE KISSES HIM
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Miss? - Yes?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06What does it feel like to be deaf?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Brilliant. You wouldnae be able to hear your ma shouting at you
0:09:09 > 0:09:10to do stuff all the time.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12LAUGHTER
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Miss? Is it like when your ears are all blocked,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18and everything feels like it's miles away?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Well, that's certainly one way to think about it.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23But just remember,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25you don't have to shout at him all the time.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Do you hear me, Ricky?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Sorry, Miss. Did you say something?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40LIZZIE: I don't want him treated any different.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Well, let's give it a couple of weeks.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45If he's struggling, we'll let you know.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48He won't struggle. There's nothing wrong with his brain.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Is there, Frankie?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53A word to the wise. Watch what you say in front of him.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56He's a champion lip reader.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58GIRLS CHANT: Doctor Knickerbocker,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Knickerbocker, number nine.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Clap your hands and keep it in time.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Now let's get the rhythm of the hands.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Now we've got the rhythm of the hands.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Now let's get the rhythm of the feet.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Now we've got the rhythm of the feet.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Now let's get the rhythm of the eyes.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Now we've got the rhythm of the eyes.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Now let's get the rhythm of the hips.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Now we've got the rhythm of the hips.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20GIRL: Let's do something else.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Hey, bean.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Stick your finger in there and wag it.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Go on, stick it in.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Is that how your girlfriend feels?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31BELL RINGS
0:11:12 > 0:11:14FRANKIE: We do geography at school, Da.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17It's my favourite subject.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I know every single country in the whole world.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24'Miss Mackenzie gave me two gold stars for my homework.'
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Well done.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46'I've made a friend. His name's Ricky Monroe.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48'And he's rubbish at geography.'
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Morrison, 2642. Take a seat.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Thanks.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I wondered when you'd show up.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I've kept you something.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Isn't she a beauty?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Mmm.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10LIZZIE: Dear Frankie.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Here's another stamp for your collection.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16This one's a real beauty. The Queen Mary.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20They don't build them like that any more.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21When I was your age,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I lived so close to the sea, I could taste it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27The sharp, salty taste on the inside of my mouth.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29LIZZIE'S VOICE MERGES WITH A MAN'S: And I can taste it now,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33that same sharp saltiness, up here, on the deck.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37MAN'S VOICE ALONE: So we're sailing down towards the Cape now.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41'The sky here is the most beautiful shade of blue I've ever seen.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44'It's like the stone in your ma's engagement ring.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47'Ask her to show you it. Then you'll know exactly what I mean.'
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- Oh, you got it, then? - I always get it when I go, you know that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I didn't know you were still gonna go.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Now that we're here...
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I thought you might have stopped all that.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01No.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I've no plans to stop any of it.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Yes, can I help you?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Hello? Hello, I'm talking to you.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Uh...uh...

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Excuse me, I'm talking to you.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Excuse me. Cheeky wee devil, you.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Look, son, I did not come up the Clyde in a paper boat.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I am well aware that a wee boy your age
0:14:51 > 0:14:54should be at school doing sums at this time of the day.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57There's no flies on me. So come on.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Let's have a look at the note from your teacher, shall we?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Oh, I...I didn't realise.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I, uh...
0:15:10 > 0:15:13LOUDLY: I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were...
0:15:13 > 0:15:16SHE MOUTHS: ..deaf.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Aw, never you mind, son.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20You...you pick a book.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Pick any book.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25And if we don't have it here,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27then I will move mountains to get it for you.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Any cards up there for a locksmith?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06What's that supposed to mean?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It's the name of his dad's boat.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13And it's the capital of Ghana.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Don't tell me. You must be Ricky Monroe.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Ricky? - What?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Get your feet off the bed.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22DOORBELL

0:17:28 > 0:17:30I mean, the advert's not going in the paper till Friday.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I'm grateful for the offer, honest,
0:17:32 > 0:17:33but we might not be here that long.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Do you know, that's what I said when I first came?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Look, it is only a part-time job.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I'm not asking you to sign your life away.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45OK. Just think about it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47NANA: She doesn't need to think about it. She'll take it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Just tell her what time you want her to start.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55OK, then.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14MAN: We crossed the equator a week ago, Frankie.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16We'll be docking in the Cape soon.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19And it's really hot on board now.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24It's so hot on deck, you burn your hands on the rail.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Well, I'd better go now, Frankie.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29It's my turn on watch.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Now, mind and stick in at school,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33and be a good boy for your mammy.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Love from your daddy.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Hey, Frankie boy.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Bet you're dead excited about seeing your da.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Why don't you just lay down and die? Ignore him, Frankie.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Bet you didn't even know his boat was coming.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Of course he knew, stupid. And you don't need to shout.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25He can see what you're saying. Unfortunately.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29I bet you all my trump cards your da doesn't come.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31If he comes, I'll give you the lot.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33If he doesn't come, you have to give me
0:19:33 > 0:19:35every single one of your stamps,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and your knife, to keep for ever.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40No, Frankie, don't. Don't do it.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50FRANKIE: Dear Da. Sorry I haven't written for a few days.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Things have been very busy here.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I suppose you've been busy too,
0:20:14 > 0:20:15now that you've had to change course
0:20:15 > 0:20:18and sail back north.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Ricky Monroe told me.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Trust him to put his big feet right in it.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I've told him hundreds and hundreds of times,
0:20:30 > 0:20:31you might not even get shore leave.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34But he doesn't know about these things.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37He's not very clever, and he's a liar.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39He said you wouldn't want to come and see us,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41even if you could.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44So, guess what, Da. I've made a bet.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I bet Ricky Monroe you were coming.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Then I said I'd bring you to the football trials,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51to prove it.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Hey, slowcoach. I'm waiting on those chips.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02OK, hold your horses. I'm doing them. Everything all right?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Yeah, everything's fine, absolutely fine.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I need the money for the milk. We owe three weeks,
0:21:25 > 0:21:26and he'll be here first thing.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29My purse is on the table, and don't do that again.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Don't do what again? Come in here without knocking.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I thought you were Frankie.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36So? You shouldn't have anything to hide.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Shut the door.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I've got something I need to show you.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I knew something like this was gonna happen.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I told you, didn't I?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06What we gonna do? Move.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Lizzie, darling, listen. You cannae keep running.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12You've got to face this sometime.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Tell Frankie the truth. He should know, Lizzie.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18He should know what his daddy was.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Then maybe he'd stop wishing for him.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Have you forgotten what it was like?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25No, I haven't forgotten. But it's over now.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27It's over and done with. Davey's dead.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Davey's not dead.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I check that paper every week. I know he's not dead.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34He could walk in through that door any minute now and take what's his.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- No, he won't walk in. - How do you know that?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39I just know it.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Lizzie, darling, you're my daughter and I love you,
0:22:42 > 0:22:43but you're wrong.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45You've stopped living your life.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49You're the one that's dead.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50That's not what Frankie needs.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54He doesn't need lies in a letter.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56He needs flesh and blood.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Where are you going? - For cigarettes.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58RINGING TONE
0:24:00 > 0:24:01WOMAN: 'Hello?'
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- 'Hello, who is this?' - Go away.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Just go away and leave us alone.

1:20:17 > 1:20:21I promise myself it'll be the last one.
1:20:22 > 1:20:27Thought he'd lose interest in time. Just stop.
1:20:30 > 1:20:33But if he hasn't written for a couple of weeks,
1:20:33 > 1:20:34I'm the one egging him on.
